Minister for Roads and Ports, Tim Pallas, said that using front fog lights in any other conditions apart from hazardous weather conditions was now prohibited. “Fog lamps turned on when there is no fog can cause glare, affecting other road users’ ability to see and drive safely,” Mr Pallas said. “The new law brings the use of front fog lights in line with rules for using rear fog lights, reflecting community expectations and improving road safety.“If drivers use their fog lights under conditions which are not foggy or hazardous they could face fines of $116.”Also from 29th April..SCRIBR's thread that was merged...

Very flat/horizontal so as not to diffuse the light in fog.These lights in the Falcon do not have this characteristic.FR "fog lights" do the same thing. They shine very flat and wide. Especially noticeable when it's off the car and turned on. I find mine completely useless though1. Because there is no thick fog around Sydney2. even if there was they would need to be adjusted perfectly to shine straight ahead and not up in to the fog or down in to the ground.

(given a warning) but since then I have been through several RBT's and not told once to turn them off? I have even had the fuzz coming down a hill while I was driving up with only my fog lights on and the fuzz held his hand up to block the fog light shine and nothing never happened then! I guess it just depends on who you get on the day!derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
